"It is naturally difficult to answer, but after all, I am a man and should be a bit stronger than her. You wouldn't want me to break down in tears here, would you?" Augus chuckled, lightening the atmosphere. Everything had been prearranged, including Xinran's storyline, but there were also unplanned elements that had yet to unfold. He believed it would happen soon; once his brother made a move, many things would go smoothly. "Whoever of us proposes the breakup first is indeed an important question, as it relates to who will be the one left behind and who will be the more pitiful one. So, looking at us, who seems like the one to propose the breakup?"
"You can still laugh about it, so it must be you!" Xinran snatched the microphone and retorted.
"It seems that even though you two have broken up, your feelings for each other are still quite good!" A paparazzi remarked upon witnessing their interaction.
"Am I looking for trouble by going against a national idol?" Xinran pouted and said.
"Summer, your TV drama with Augus is about to premiere, right? Choosing to break up at this time, won't it affect the show's ratings? What are your plans for work afterward?"
"Yes, we heard that you will soon sign with Sky Media as a Contract Artist. Is that true?"
"Xinran! Today I want you dead; I want to burn you alive!" Suddenly, a sharp voice came from a reporter sitting nearby. In the next moment, it seemed that some liquid was splashed onto the stage.
Immediately, chaos erupted in the venue. Some female paparazzi screamed in fright and scattered in all directions, while others stayed put, determined to capture this rare newsworthy moment!
No one knew what liquid had been thrown on stage, but at that critical moment, Augus stood up and shielded Xinran with his body.
After a moment, security regained control of the scene, and the paparazzi quieted down. Under Augus's protection, Xinran looked at the person being restrained by security and realized it was Xia Wenjing!
She took a moment to calm herself and then looked up at Augus. "Are you hurt? What she just splashed on you was..."
"Gasoline, don't worry, I won't get hurt as long as it's not ignited!" Augus winked at Xinran to reassure her.
"I'll talk to you later!" Xinran shot Augus a glare, then stepped down from the stage and approached Xia Wenjing. She truly hadn't expected today's press conference to draw her in, let alone set up such an extraordinary show for her!
She had vowed not to let them off easily, but thinking of them as her relatives, even after they had hurt her so much, she couldn't bring herself to take any revenge against them. However, what had her kindness brought her? Xia Wenjing actually hated her so deeply that she wanted to kill her!
"Xia Wenjing, what have I done to make you repeatedly come after me? Not only did you fabricate rumors about me behind my back and harm my loved ones, but now you even want to burn me alive?" Xinran asked calmly, but a flash of determination crossed her eyes. She would no longer tolerate this; with an attempted murder on the line, she needed to find the best lawyer to send Xia Wenjing to prison!
"Summer, let my mom and sister go. If you don't release them, I'll make sure we both perish today!"
"Have you lost your mind? Are you trying to slander me like this? Are you accusing me of kidnapping? Do you think I'm foolish enough to commit a crime like you?" Xinran said disdainfully before turning back to the stage.
